Reader response: Check out work by Portland-area paperweight artists

Reader (and fellow paperweight collector) Debra Henry -- in response to Benjamin Brink's story and photos about Keren Hoover's collection of the decorative glass orbs that ran in the Feb. 24 weekend edition of Homes & Gardens of the Northwest -- emailed to say there are two paperweight artists living in the Portland area: Gary Scrutton of Parabelle Glass, Portland, and Chris Buzzini in Wilsonville. She said Scrutton is retired "but created some beautiful paperweights in the 1990s." She said you can see some examples of their work online at the L.H. Sellman website, which is in the process of an online paperweight auction that includes Buzzini and Parabelle weights.
